AVX ONE Machine Identity CLM and PKI Platform Shortlisted for Best DevOps Security Tool and Best IoT/IIoT Security Solution of the Year
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AppViewX, a leader in automated certificate lifecycle management (CLM) and public key infrastructure (PKI) solutions, today announced that its AVX ONE Platform has been shortlisted as a finalist for the Computing DevOps Excellence Awards 2025 in the category of Best DevOps Security Tool and the Cyber Security Awards 2025 for Best IoT/IIoT Security Solution of the Year.
These nominations underscore AppViewX’s innovative and best-in-class approach to addressing critical security challenges across complex hybrid multi-cloud enterprise environments and non-human identities in Internet of Things (IoT) and Industrial IoT (IIoT) environments.
Computing’s editors have recognized the AVX ONE Platform for its ability to secure complex Kubernetes environments by automating the management of Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) certificates. AVX ONE automates the entire certificate lifecycle, from enrollment to renewal, and integrates seamlessly with DevOps pipelines, enabling secure and scalable operations across hybrid and multi-cloud infrastructures. By addressing challenges like rogue certificates, manual provisioning errors, and policy enforcement, AVX ONE enhances crypto-agility, reduces operational risks, and boosts developer productivity. The winners will be announced in March.
AVX ONE has been shortlisted in the Cyber Security Awards for its identity-first security approach to securing IoT and IIoT ecosystems. A cloud-native Certificate Lifecycle Management (CLM) and PKI platform, AVX ONE assigns each IoT device a unique, cryptographically secure identity and continuously manages these identities throughout the device lifecycle. This ensures tamper-proof security, even in remote or dynamic environments. By automating certificate governance, threat detection, and compliance enforcement, AVX ONE not only mitigates vulnerabilities like expired or rogue certificates but also simplifies cryptographic agility for emerging challenges, such as post-quantum cryptography. Cyber Security Awards 2025 winners will be unveiled in March.
“These nominations highlight the versatility of AVX ONE to ensure security in Kubernetes and IoT/IIoT ecosystems, and underscores our leadership in certificate lifecycle management and PKI,” said Gregory Webb, CEO of AppViewX. “We are honored to be recognized for advancing the field of DevOps security and non-human identity management, where we continue to set the standard for innovation and excellence in securing complex, dynamic environments for many of the world’s largest enterprises and demanding industries.”

The rise of machine-to-machine communication is vital to drive digital transformation, but it’s also making companies increasingly reliant on the non-human identities (NHIs) used by applications, APIs, workloads, bots, IoT devices and service accounts.
This rapid growth of NHIs poses significant security challenges that are proving difficult to manage, especially for large organizations. NHIs often operate without the stringent oversight given to human identities governed by well-established identity and account management (IAM) practices and technology, leaving them vulnerable to exploitation by malicious actors.

November 20, 2024: In 2024, we saw some pretty significant PKI trends and challenges, including the push for shorter validity TLS certificates, the distrust of a major public CA, and the standardization of new post-quantum cryptography encryption algorithms. We are almost certain to see new challenges for machine and non-human identity management in 2025. Here are my 2025 predictions.
November 14, 2024: One common cyber hygiene failure is poor management of digital certificates and cryptography. With the rise of cloud services, the Internet of Things and DevOps, outdated or expired certificates can create vulnerabilities and cause outages. To fix this, businesses should automate certificate life cycle management, ensuring continuous visibility, timely renewals and control of cryptographic assets. – Gregory Webb, AppViewX
November 07, 2024: Recent studies indicate that the majority of organizations plan to significantly increase their investments in non-human identity (NHI) security technology over the next 12 months. This trend is driven by several factors.
What is an NHI? Some quick definitions. NHIs are the digital actors on all enterprise networks that play a crucial role in securing machines, systems, applications, services and data, managing access and ensuring the integrity of digital environments with a zero-trust framework. The range of so-called NHIs is vast and growing. It typically includes digital certificates and cryptographic keys, API keys, OAuth tokens and cloud service credentials.
October 30, 2024 :AppViewX, a leader in automated certificate lifecycle management (CLM) and PKI solutions, today announced it will host a webinar with TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG) that explores the challenges and best practices for managing non-human identities (NHIs). The session will include the latest ESG research findings (Managing Non-human Identities for an Effective Cybersecurity Program) on securing NHIs, including digital certificates, service accounts, and OAuth tokens.
October 9, 2024: A brewing problem. AppViewX VP of Product Marketing Christian Simko told IT Brew that security concerns around NHIs have been “percolating” for a long time and that the issue has garnered a lot more “mindshare” from security teams within the last year. Simko blamed the problem largely on a lack of visibility around the full scope of NHIs used across an organization.
New research conducted by Enterprise Strategy Group exposes growing security risks posed by machine identities and provides actionable mitigation advice
NEW YORK–(BUSINESS WIRE)–AppViewX, the leader in automated certificate lifecycle management (CLM) and PKI solutions, today announced the release of a new report titled, Securing Non-Human Identities: Insights for an Effective Cybersecurity Program. Conducted in partnership with TechTarget’s Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG), the report surveyed 367 IT, cybersecurity, and DevOps professionals to assess the growing volume and risks associated with non-human identities (NHIs) in modern IT environments.
The research exposes the security threats associated with NHIs, which include machine identities, digital certificates, API cloud keys, service accounts, and other automated systems. According to the report, NHIs outnumber human identities by a factor of 20, yet nearly one in five are inadequately protected. The study also found that 66 percent of enterprises have experienced a successful cyberattack resulting from compromised NHIs. Additionally, 57 percent of the episodes where organizations suffering a successful attack tied to NHI compromises got Board of Directors attention.
“Non-human identities represent one of the most significant attack surfaces within today’s enterprises,” said Todd Thiemann, Senior Analyst at ESG. “Without proper management and security controls, NHIs can lead to costly data breaches, operational disruptions, and compliance failures. This report provides valuable insight into the current NHI landscape, how organizations are addressing risks, and their intentions for ensuring continuous security as their NHI volume grows.”
Key Findings from the Report Include:
“The complexity of modern cloud environments makes managing non-human identities manually unfeasible, even for smaller organizations. Meanwhile, digital transformation, AI and cloud-first initiatives are pushing the population of these digital identities to near exponential growth,” said Gregory Webb, Chief Executive Officer at AppViewX. “Automated certificate lifecycle management and crypto-agility are key to avoiding security lapses, preventing costly outages and reducing exposure to cyber threats. This report underscores both the scale and severity of the problem.”
The full Securing Non-Human Identities report is available for download.
